Exercise 10

In the following quotations note the use of the pronouns and mark

whether they are _personal_, _relative_ or _interrogative_, whether they

are used in the _subject_ form, _possessive_ form or _object_ form:

1. "Camerado, I give you my hand,

I give you my love more precious than money,

I give you myself before preaching or law;

Will you give me yourself, will you come travel with me,

Shall we stick by each other as long as we live?"

2. "I think I could turn and live with animals they are so placid and

self-contained,

I stand and look at them long and long, they do not sweat and whine

about their condition,

They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins,

They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God;

Not one is dis-satisfied, not one is demented with the mania of

owning things.

Not one kneels to another nor to his kind, that lived thousands of

years ago,

Not one is respectable or unhappy over the whole earth."

--_Whitman_.
